'God conservatives are creepy.' Brit Hume asks Tweeters to support cops; hate ensues

Former Fox News anchor Brit Hume had this nice thought last night:

Millions in the US regularly thank military service members for keeping us safe. Maybe it's time to do the same for cops. RT if you agree.

— Brit Hume (@brithume) December 22, 2014

And as of this post, we’re at almost 4700 retweets. But that’s not enough for Brit:

Grateful to all who retweeted this last night. Would appreciate more RTs from those who agree with the thought. https://t.co/kY1xAKyyqH

Come on people — RT this!

However, not everyone likes what Hume had to say:

Yep. Check it out:

@brithume Or we could stop blindly thanking groups of people and focus on individual actions.

@Parineca @brithume Oh, stop. Being a cop is an important job, but just having that job doesn't make you a hero.

@brithume @BillWeirCNN Perhaps if the cops in my community were less threatening I could thank them.
